That sound you hear? A million rabid iPhone users crying. After teasing us with mountains of glorious
SDK features and
apps, Apple dropped the bomb that we won't be getting any of those features until the iPhone / iPod touch 2.0 software update, which arrives as a free update in June and includes App Store. Selected developers will get a chance at a beta version of 2.0 to test their new applications out as of today, and we have a funny feeling somebody's going to be putting in some hours to try and crack this thing for the rest of us. In addition to the SDK-related features, the 2.0 update brings parental controls, such as allowing parents to turn of Safari or the App Store to keep those kiddies safe, and boosts mail functionality with PowerPoint viewing and mass message moving / deleting (freaking finally).

that "nobody" must not include you as you certainly took the time to write a comment. don't mind me though, run along back to the "I'm-not-a-sheep-because-I-hate-apple" group.

Gotta love those idiots that think Flash should be on a mobile device lol
PS I dont own an iphone or any apple products, but I do own mobile devices that do not have flash players, by hmm Microsoft. I see a trend here.

Yes the trend is, Microsoft cannot make mobile phones, they struggle with Operation systems, the only reason I choose Vista over Leopard is because I'm so used to it, but I might get both soon, but as for the iPhone, it has the best mobile software, but rubbish hardware. Next best mobile manufacturer, Software and Hardware based, is Nokia! Flash should be on phones. Its not vital but very necessary.
